Costa Serena Land of the Gods is how it sounds lots of pictures of gods and goddesses everywhere. The atrium has these gods looking down on you, we had a bit of a laugh about it initially but actually its not as offensive on the eyes as it sounds. It is very clean and there is lots going on. It actually reminded us of a themed hotel in Las Vegas, and we loved Vegas. We had a great first day relaxing into our first Costa Experience and met some lovely people.

Perfect on a number of dimensions – the ship, the staff, the cabin, the itinerary, what to do in each destination
